Hey, I recently started a hip hop blog, and I've tried everything to get google to rank my page higher under keyword "hip hop blog". Right now it's dropped to page 4. I've tried meta tags, some SEO keyword inputs, and my affiliates have been growing. HELP! What can I do to get a higher page rank? The site is http://www.gowherehiphop.com. _maximusgmpi
Do you think that hurts it more than it helps? What would be a good amount of on page seo to include?
Read about it. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=11017 It helps your site by building backlinks.
I wouldn't hurt to get an IP where there aren't thirty other sites. Get more backlinks. Most of your links come from same sources ie hiphopruckus.blogspot and music4unow.blogspot represents more than half of the 200 or so inbound links. I actually think page four in a google search is pretty nice for now. Especially for a domain that is only 1 Months, 21 days... consider yourself lucky you haven't been sandboxed.
Terrible advice. First the keyword stuffing needs to end, then the site needs to be linked from more domains. That's two already, and just on the surface.
If getting more backlinks is a terrible advice, than how should we rate the "links from more domains" ?
considering you only have 210 backlinks and their being millions of hiphop sites out there that would do it to you. Build more backlinks and visit more hiphop sites eg ughh.com sohh.com to get the word out more.
The keyword stuffing needs to stop...it looks artificial to the user and it will be easy for the bots to spot...
